ROME -
"An important victory in a stadium that is never easy. It followed a
difficult moment, and I think that this evening Inter showed a great
response." Javier Zanetti's comments to the microphones of Rai Sport after
the Nerazzurri's 1-0 victory over Roma in the first leg of semi-finals of the
Coppa Italia. "We played a great game against a tough opponent. It's never
been easy to win here in Rome," continued the captain.

As to whether or not this result was a response to the
many rumours going around in recent days speculating on the future of the
coach, Zanetti explained in his closing statements: "I've always said that
Leonardo is doing a great job. Let's forget about what's being said and focus
on Saturday's match against Lazio."
